Michael Shank, a conflict analyst at George Mason Universitys Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, examines the shootings in Mumbai, India, stressing the inefficacy of counter-terrorism responses that target the agent only without concurrently addressing the conflict environment in which violence takes roots. Shank suggests that national, regional and global conflicts are responsible for the shootings -- specifically, socio-economic and political marginalization of Muslims in India; nuclear and Kashmir conflicts between India-Pakistan and Americas preferential nuclear treatment of India; and finally, Muslim-West relations exacerbated by Obamas distancing from his Muslim identity and plans to attack another sovereign Islamic republic, Pakistan. The interview was conducted in Arabic by Al Jazeera on December 3, 2008.
